Also the only real reason to get up to Captain is to be able to spend seals on the ARR-HW and StB minion lootboxes if you really want to. Sometimes a mount pops out of them. But you can also just get all the minions and mounts in the pool by just doing the things you originally got them for.

Where can I find those boxes

For the record if you ever decide to level crafters you're gonna have more seals than you know what to do with from GC turn-ins.

I already do from dungeon greed loot no one wants lol. Bought all the stuff I want for my level like minions ect and house stuff. Also how tf do you ever win a house. I’ve bid on an L house every week that I could afford it and it’s up against 100+ people. Is there a way to buy from someone directly? I have about 50 million I could offer

I think the only way to do that is to buy someone's FC which can happen but will also mean you can't be in a goon fc.

Also, what have you been doing to have fifty million gil already or is RPing just very profitable?

I don’t know if you know this but between venues giveaways every week (I’ve won 30+ mil this way) just for showing up, and casinos, I turned about 200k to 60+ million but less now because I bought all the minions, mounts, and rolls I wanted from the market lol. There’s one casino that does something called Burger Flip, which is like rocket if you know that that is (degenerate gambler poo poo) and I’ve done 1 mil bets and turned it in to 5 mil in seconds lmao. Although some nights are better than others. The club / venue and social scene in FF14 is the absolute BEST part of this game. I’ve met so many people, my friends list is over Like, 49 people at this point. Only been at this like 3 months too

That's funny. I think you could make about a million in an hour of maps from just drops, but that's not really at all the same thing.

But really, I'm just here for the story and beating up baddies. The social aspect of the game doesn't really grab me for any reason. I don't fault people who do. I'm probably the weird one.

Yeah, unfortunately the market for large personal houses is still nightmarish, because there are so few available plots and still tons of demand. I'm not sure there's any kind of strategy besides "keep bidding and pray," besides maybe moving to the Dynamis ghost towns?

Large houses are gonna be next to impossible to get via the lottery and as others said, the only way to buy a house directly is through making you the leader of an FC that owns the house, and you're gonna see massive markups on those sales compared to the lottery. Like when I was looking all I could find were smalls going for like 80 million gil.

Not sure if you know this but there is "instanced" housing via apartments that are more or less infinite, so you can somewhat sate your Property-having needs

If you really want a large house, your one guaranteed option is to move your character to the Dynamis data center, which was added last year and is under populated. Cons: Dynamis is kind of a ghost town so everyone uses World Visit to go to Aether or Primal to do all of the actual game parts.

It's the suburbs of FF14. Move there to own a house, commute to a real datacenter to actually do anything, because people are literally only there to own houses.

I'm sure we'll get stuff like that in 7.0 or 7.1, since they only just added the materiel containers in 6.1.

There are two philosophies for burning through them quickly. One is to do it as Warrior so you're basically indestructible and you can just power through them all while only half paying attention, and the other is to do it as your favorite high-burst single-target DPS and just tear through the fights one murder at a time.

squads are incredible for leveling jobs 1-50 once you give them all 5 offensive level-ups. careless whisper regularly did twice my damage as a DPS while i was spamming ARR dungeons with them. no queue time and at least they're dumb in a reliable way, unlike most of the people you get in duty finder.

The most money I ever made was from entering a cosplay competition because a friend asked me to at an in-game weeb convention to pump up some participant numbers and I won second place, got 30 mil out of it. I lost to catboy Dante DMC who had a pretty impressive routine.

I never assumed it was plants, just that a lot of these tiny clubs will mostly attract people who are already friends of the venue owners, so even honest giveaways keep the money circulating in that tiny ecosystem

I don't think I was a plant but it would be funny if I was some sorta catgirl manchurian plant. I don't really hang out on the social side these days so the money is definitely not getting recycled back into the social system.
